Child Sexual Abuse and the Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Contradictions in Practice

University of Montana mj{at}selway.umt.edu

This article uses the multidisciplinary team approach to child sexual abuse as a generative site for research and explores the ways in which shifting meanings of childhood and constructions of sexually abused children and the structuring of team practice poses problems for multidisciplinary team members. It argues that understanding child sexual abuse and developing community-based practice approaches must be informed by broader perspectives. Linkages are drawn between the multidisciplinary team approach and the `businessing' of human services. A model of critical practice is suggested as a framework for considering new translations of practice with sexually abused children.
